【英语词汇】以u结尾的英语单词

2014-09-09 17:03阅读:
The aphorism 'English words don't end in u,' is frequently invoked by spelling teachers as an aid in spelling such common words as, blue, clue, cue, due, flue, glue, hue, and true.
拼写老师教授blue、clue、cue、flue、glue、hue和true等单词时频繁借助“英语单词不以u结尾”这句格言。
The silent final e also rescues the following words from the onus of ending in u: construe, continue, ensue, imbue, and issue.
放在词尾不发音的e也可以使construe、continue、ensue、imbue和issue等单词免于以u结尾。
【英语词汇】以u结尾的英语单词
The only two native English words that end in u are the pronouns thou and you, but they probably shouldn't count because
they really end in ou.
英语中只有人称代词thou和you两个本土英语单词以u结尾,但这两个词很可能不应该算作以u结尾,因为它们实际上是以ou结尾。
There remain 50 or so 'English' words that do end in u. I put English in quotation marks because most of these u-words obviously came undigested from some other language, most from French. The following words ending with u are fairly common.
还有大约50个“英语”单词以u结尾。“英语”带引号是因为大多数这些以u结尾的单词很明显源于其他语言,大多数源于法语。以下以u结尾的单词相当常见。
bayou 河口,支流
beau 情郎,男友
bureau
caribou 驯鹿
chapeau 帽子
chateau 城堡,别墅
